i think book 5 has the most funny parts in the series (well, aside 
from the fact that it is the longest...). here are some i could 
recall:

'I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful! A 
prefect! That's everyone in the family!'
'What are Fred and I, next-door neighbours?' said George 
indignantly...

'Sirius is being tortured NOW!' shouted Harry. 'We haven't got time 
to waste.'
...Though clearly struggling to understand what was going on, Ginny 
said immediately, 'Yeah, we'll do it,' and Luna said, 'When you 
say "Sirius", are you talking about Stubby Boardman?'

(after the quibbler incident) ...Professor Trelawney broke into 
hysterical sobs during Divination and announced to the startled 
class, and a very disapproving Umbridge, that Harry was not going to 
suffer an early death after all, but would live to a ripe old age, 
become Minister for Magic and have twelve children.

'Well
 well, I don't know whether you know what - what stitches are?'
'It sounds as though you've been trying to sew your skin back 
together,' said Mrs Weasley with a snort of mirthless laughter, 'but 
even you, Arthur, wouldn't be that stupid —'
'I fancy a cup of tea, too,' said Harry, jumping to his feet.
Hermione, Ron and Ginny almost sprinted to the door with him. As it 
swung closed behind them, they heard Mrs Weasley shriek, 'WHAT DO 
YOU MEAN, THAT'S THE GENERAL IDEA?'

Indeed, a week after Fred and George's departure Harry witnessed 
Professor McGonagall walking right past Peeves, who was determinedly 
loosening a crystal chandelier, and could have sworn he heard her 
tell the poltergeist out of the corner of her mouth, 'It unscrews 
the other way.'

'A couple of people?' said Harry hoarsely to Hermione. 'A couple of 
people?' (upon arrival of the students in the hog's head)

'You know what?' Harry said to Ron and Hermione as they entered the 
Great Hall. 'I think we'd better check with Puddlemere United 
whether Oliver Wood's been killed during a training session, because 
Angelina seems to be channelling his spirit.'
